The pop juggernaut that is Taylor Swift continues to decimate and downright annihilate every remaining chart record. This time around , Swift becomes the first female solo artist in Billboard's 56 year history to knock themselves off the Number 1 spot.
Blank Space climbs to the top spot knocking Shake It Off from its perch. It becomes Swift's third Hot 100 chart topper. Current album 1989 has already sold 2million copies having already become the biggest selling album of the year. It shifted another 300, 000 copies in the States in the past week.
It will be interesting to see in 2015 if Swift can break another record. Michael Jackson and her rumoured arch nemesis Katy Perry both hold the joint record for most Number 1's from a single album , for Thriller and Teenage Dream respectively.
Both those albums churned out 6 chart toppers ,although Katy Perry did have the added help of an album reissue and numerous remixes to equal the record.
So for Swift to break the record , a further 5 US Number 1's is needed in 2015. I wouldn't put it past her at this stage. Style , Out Of The Woods , Bad Blood , Wildest Dreams , New Romantics and All You Had To Do Was Stay could all very well hit the top spot.
At this moment in time , I'd back her to equal the record. The material and potential hits are there in abundance on 1989 , an album that is an embarrassment of riches. With the right videos and single choices , another chart record could very well lie in smithereens at the talented hands of Ms Swift
